Cc: ultra@caligari.Dartmouth.EDU
After finally getting a decent night's rest last night, I thought I'd send
in a quick note with the VERY preliminary totals for the Jim Skophammer/BAUR
24 Hour held last weekend (I need to verify the totals by hand against the
lap sheets, and given a few problems we had with the computers, some of
these totals may be off by a lap or two. My sincere apologies for that,
and believe me, I'm working on the problem!)
Anyway, the quick summary:
* HOT, HOT, HOT! (94 in the shade at the start, probably 115 on the track.)
We didn't have any serious casualties, but we went through probably 40
bags of ice.
* Mark Williams (he of Barkley fame, and I can see now why he could subdue
Barkley--a powerful runner and a VERY strong, long-legged walker) came from
well behind to win, though he was hanging on at the end as two women were
cutting into his lead and the heat was returning Sunday morning. And no,
Mark, I won't reject your entry for next year! :-)
* We had a woman (in fact two) leading the race for the first time
in its 13-year history. They kept the lead, and had an exciting duel
with only a lap or two separating them, for much of the night. This is
only the third(?) time we've had a woman over 115 miles, and we almost
had two.
* There were too many runners for the lap counters early on. Once a few
people dropped out, things were much easier.
* We had people from North Carolina to Colorado to southern California
to the Bay Area.
* We had at least one racewalker
* For the second year in a row, we had three men in the 70+ division, and
a local runner who will turn 85 later this year is considering coming
to run next year. I guess 70+ isn't a high enough division, we need an
80+!
* The performances, especially considering the heat, were REALLY outstanding!

Thanks to all those list members that attended, either as runners or,
most especially, as volunteers. We couldn't do it without you!
Cheers!
